There is an SGI IRIX screenshot there from late 90’s. I scanned the list to take a look specifically for it.

I once saw 4 of the SGI Onyx2 RealityMonster supercomputers in a post-production house’s render farm in London.

They were so expensive, ($1m+ per computer) that it was only financially viable if they were engaged on client work 24/7/365. Damn gorgeous things and they turned the display of those into almost an art piece for wow-ing film studio execs.

Fun times.
